# Complete an open task

*This should be done only for tasks that were not automatically closed.*

To close a task of a work order, first find it by navigating to the work order's page and opening the **"Technologies"** section.

Select the task you want to close from the list that appears and copy its **"ID".**

After copying the **ID** of the task, navigate to the "[Tasks](https://placeholder.erp/tasks)" table.
